marijuana legalization initiative, which takes effect on

by Andrew Napolitano. They are two of America’s most celebrated presidents. One, a Republican who had a storied military career, created the American conservation movement and once gave a speech after being shot by a would-be assassin; the other, a Democrat who overcame dyslexia as a child only to lead America to victory in World War I and formulate ... MOREJim Snyder: Americans Must Favor More Regulations
Voters affirm Obama's job-killing red tape. Mitt Romney urged voters to reject President Barack Obama and his “job-killing” regulations. Obama’s victory last week shows many Americans aren’t as reflexively anti-Washington as Romney expected. In fact, presidents through history who aggressively used the tools of government at their disposal have ... MORERobert VerBruggen: Free Speech On FIRE
Greg Lukianoff catalogues censorship on campus. ‘The essentiality of freedom in the community of American universities is almost self-evident,” wrote Earl Warren in a 1957 Supreme Court opinion. Apparently, American universities themselves have come to disagree. In Unlearning Liberty, Foundation for Individual Rights in Education ... MORE
California's Deadly Embrace Of Big Government
by Steven Greenhut. After Tuesday night’s election results came in, I started searching for two things: a stiff drink and a good out-of-state real-estate agent. The national election sends troubling signs about the direction
the country is headed, but nothing much will change from the past
four years, so we know what to expect even if it isn’t particularly
good. ... MORETen Little-Known Consequences Of A Second Obama Term
by Matt Purple. We all know what the wrecking balls of a second Obama term will be: widespread unemployment, stagnant economic growth, enormous debt. But the consequences don't stop there. Believing in activist government means your work is never finished. You pass a new law that you think combats injustice and inefficiency. Then human nature kicks ... MOREMark Steyn: The Edge Of The Abyss
American society is more liberal and statist than ever. Amid the ruin and rubble of the grey morning after, it may seem in poor taste to do anything so vulgar as plug the new and stunningly topical paperback edition of my book, After America — or, as Dennis Miller retitled it on the radio the other day, Wednesday. But the business of America is business, ... MOREThe Disappointment Of Living In An Electoral Republic
by Clarice Feldman. Tuesday's returns seem inexplicable. (a) Logic Took a Powder. Jeff Dobbs, a regular at Just One Minute, did some work and shows why the election results this week seem inexplicable and unpredictable: Fun with Exit Polls... 19% of voters who described their view as "abortion should be illegal in all cases" voted for Obama. 13% who described ... MOREMargot Sanger-Katz: Floodgates Open On New Health Regs
Unleashing government force after the election. After months of regulatory delays, the floodgates have apparently opened. The Health and Human Services Department delivered two major health reform rules to the Office of Management and Budget on Friday, the first in an anticipated stream of health regulation. Many sources close to the Centers for Medicare ... MOREFour More Years For The Unwitting Authoritarian
by Andrew Napolitano. Only in America can a president who inherits a deep recession and whose policies have actually made the effects of that recession worse get re-elected. Only in America can a president who wants the bureaucrats who can't run the Post Office to micromanage the administration of every American's health care get re-elected. ...

Federal Government To American People: Screw Your Will
Feds vow to limit individual liberty. Votes making Colorado and Washington the first U.S. states to legalize marijuana for recreational use could be short-lived victories for pot backers because the federal government will fight them, two former U.S. drug control officials said on Wednesday. They said the federal government could sue to block ... MOREVegas Employer: Obama Won -- So I Fired 22 Employees
Election results begin being felt. A Las Vegas business owner with 114 employees fired 22 workers today, apparently as a direct result of President Obama’s re-election. “David” (he asked to remain anonymous for obvious reasons) told Host Kevin Wall on 100.5 KXNT that “elections have consequences” and that “at the end of the day, I need to survive.” ...

Voters Kick The Fiscal Can Down The Road
by David Davenport. After all the money (a campaign spending record exceeding $2 billion), hard work, negative campaigning and wall-to-wall advertising, Americans have voted to kick the can down the road. They don’t want to take their medicine yet. They want to continue to live in a suspended reality where government can keep growing and spending ... MORECivil Asset Forfeiture, Government's Right To Steal
Taking property based on suspicion, not conviction. Innocent until proven guilty carries a lot of weight if you are accused
of a crime. But it can be a different story when state agencies seize
the property or assets of those suspected of criminal activity. A
procedure known as civil asset forfeiture allows law enforcement
agencies in many states to ... MORE
